Comptons Most Wanted* – Music To Driveby

Not so good pressing/sound :( sleeve feels cheap and plastic. :(

Colored repress available on GetOnDown for a reasonable price ;)

Excellent album, great pressing. Im listening on great gear, regardless, sound is beautiful. Super low bass, nice seperation and clarity. Volume is slightly low so crank it up a bit. Vinyl is heavy and flat!! I love this was crammed on one disc, it was done right and sounds excellent.

Ok, I'd rather have a 2LP but after reading some of these posts I think this lp sounds surprisingly good.
You have to give it more volume than other lp's but I'm pretty satisfied.

Just got this repress. Has a B&W insert which not everyone seems to have?

Is slightly quiet - guess because how much is squeezed in. But not too bad and sound quality is fine.

The cover is a let down and as previously commented does look like a booty. It’s very dark meaning the guns aren’t very visible unlike the original. So whereas the original is menacing, this just looks like two dudes in their car.

Glad to have for a reasonable price but wish I’d read the comments first and got the booty 2lp edition which appears to be a better release.

Agreed. This doesn't sound great. This is too long of an LP for a single plate. G.o.D cheaped out. I respect them so I'll give them a break. The E40 release is BOMB as well as many of their others. They should learn from this mistake though.

I'm surprised by the negative reviews on the sound quality. Mine sounds fine. No surface noise. I don't have an original to compare it to...but the bass is heavy and it's clear. I'm more disappointed by the 'bare bones' releases Get On Down does. I'm ew to buyintg their records...This album deserves 2 LPs, an insert, some liner notes and a gate fold. Blue vinyl would have been fun. The inner sleeve on the European release (1992) had a killer inner sleeve. This release has nada. So that's disappointing. But it sounds ok.

This reissue is an absolute joke. They manage to repeat the same mistakes the original is suffering from: It is impossible to cram 60+ minutes of playtime on a single LP and get good sound out of it; this one sounds extremely bad. But the original was pressed at a time when vinyl versions were really neglected by major labels and were pressed in alibi numbers. In 2018, everything is re-released as double vinyl versions; how an album that is as long as this is reissued as a single LP is beyond me. Even the cover is looking like a bootleg. After searching for a long time, I just got the unofficial 2 LP version that was banned from the marketplace here during the ridiculous bootleg witch hunt. This is how an official reissue should sound. These guys might have made some money out of this in 2005 which did not end up in the pockets of MC Eiht, but this issue was definitely made from the perspective of a fan who wants to enjoy this album on vinyl the way it should be heard. As long as the industry is releasing stuff like this RSD crap, some unofficial releases can be useful. A wasted opportunity.

not the worst i bought but it's a get on down record...

Too bad it's just a single LP. What's up with the sound quality on this one? Any experiences so far?
